More from Dwight Eisenhower
"Some people wanted me to be a politician. I wanted to be a soldier. And I've always been a soldier."
"I have no use for people who are always looking for excuses."
"Extremes in either direction, whether in politics or in personal conduct, are rarely productive."
"The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth."
"The American way of life is not a static thing. It is a dynamic thing."
About Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Five-star Allied Supreme Commander in WWII Europe and 34th US President (1953-1961), whose January 1961 farewell address coined 'military-industrial complex.' Closely associated with George C. Marshall (his Army mentor and the Marshall Plan author) and Douglas MacArthur (Pacific Theater rival). For an intellectual contrast, see Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican senator (1947-1957) — Eisenhower privately despised McCarthy's Communist witch-hunt tactics but publicly tolerated him until McCarthy attacked the US Army in 1954; Ike's quiet engineering of the Army-McCarthy hearings undid McCarthy and ended the worst phase of McCarthyism. The establishment-Republican vs anti-establishment-Republican fault line that still defines the GOP.
